Varazdinske Toplice | Holiday Villas and Apartments

Varazdinske Toplice is a little town in the northwest of Continental Croatia with the reputation of the oldest and most famous health resort not only in Croatia but also in the broader region. It lies only 45 minutes of driving from the largest Croatian airport near Zagreb. Even though the modern facilities have been available “only” for the last two centuries, there is a more than two millennia long tradition of enjoying the thermal wells here. Here used to dwell the ancient Jasz people tribes before the Romans came. The meaning of the name is “the owner of the hot well”. Of course, the Romans were the ones that had transformed this are into a real thermal resort and led it into its golden age. There is an archeological site where the monumental Roman spa had been excavated. There was a forum, a capitolium and a complex with resident quarters as well as a trading post. Visit the County Museum where you can see different stones and marble reliefs as well as precious sculptures that depict scenes and characters from the Roman healing traditions. The site itself is an open air museum.
